CALDWELL, Idaho (AP) — A southwest Idaho middle school teacher has resigned after disciplinary action in Oregon came to light.
Officials at Vallivue School District tell the Idaho Press-Tribune (http://bit.ly/20XIHMH) that 46-year-old James Verity resigned this week.
Sage Valley Middle School Principal Sean Smith says Verity resigned following a report that Oregon in 2006 revoked Verity's license for one year.
USA Today first reported that the revocation followed an investigation that found Verity engaged in physical conduct with a student he coached on the high school girls' basketball team.
Smith says no inappropriate behavior occurred at Sage Valley Middle School and that Verity was an effective teacher.
Verity worked at the Caldwell School District from 2010 to 2014 before going to Sage Valley Middle School.
